Canes have apparently tried but no avail - Kadri has Car on NTC….. Mtl not on his list

Let’s see a Cdn of Lebanese descent, who’s father was a diehard Habs fan to potentially play in a city w largest Lebanese population in Canada.

Hmmmmm…

Cue Jr’s eyes popping for all the Kadri jerseys Rolex will buy “for the peeps”…

Dr. Saad will be very happy

Dr. Saad will be very happy

Especially when Kadri arrives at the rink in a Free Palestine t-shirt, I'm sure.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

I fully believe that Naz will be a Hab.

I rarely believe any of these rumours.

It’s just the vibes.

I'm fine with getting Kadri to warm the 2C chair until Hage is ready, but not at 100% salary retention. Not if the Flames expect to get a decent asset in return, anyway.

 

[Habsy]

wasn't he dangled all summer?

Ask was way too high is what I read

He was also a Habs fan as a kid like Crosby.

Send em Laine at 50% retain. Lowers cap hit by 4+ and then Kadri fits.

 

[Habsy]

Send them Dach for 50% retention

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Send them Dach for 50% retention

nah, I think Hugo likes Dach

 

[lecoqsportif]

Calgary won’t retain 50% for nearly 4 years.

 

[Habsy]

Calgary won’t retain 50% for nearly 4 years.

They will if you pay for it. Ie first rounder

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Calgary won’t retain 50% for nearly 4 years.

Why not? They need rid of him.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Why not? They need rid of him.

Yeah, the whole cap hit.

 

[lecoqsportif]

They will if you pay for it. Ie first rounder

Nah. He’ll get them a first with no retain.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Nah. He’ll get them a first with no retain.

Not from HuGo they wont.

 

[lecoqsportif]

So we won’t get him.

Lotsa demand, not much supply.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Penguins are winning again tonight so no Crosby for the foreseeable.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

So we won’t get him.

Lotsa demand, not much supply.

At full retention we dont want him and not a lot of teams do.

 

[Alan C]

At full retention we dont want him and not a lot of teams do.

I think they can move him without retention. He is still playing well. Myself i am hesitant buying age 35 through 38 of a contract. He does seem like a good fit to allow time for Hage to develop.

That's why there absolutely must be retention and/or salary swapping. I'd say Laune but his contract expires this season. Aside from him we dont have any boat anchor contracts we need to shed.

 

[GEEMAN]

Nah. He’ll get them a first with no retain.

A 5 mil Kadri is fine
